An Editor and his Son.

Eli Nye in New York World
have an acquaintance who assists
IN editing a morning paper, but he
does not believe in allowing his chill
dren to utterly forget him. He does
not want his boys to think they are
orphans just because he is not always
at home. He is man Of very strong
will and a strict disciplinarian. So
he gets holiday every two weeks in
order to go home and do up his pun
ishing.
One time he found that his eldest
or oldest sOn-I do not know which,
because | am away from home with
out my library-had violated the
rules of the house in a sad manner.
AS near as | am able to come at the
facts, the boy had taken a quart of
corn and sewed long thread
through each kernel, showing great
patience and perseverance in so do
ing. He had then tied the ends of
che threads all together into one knot
and scattered the corn where a large
fock of geese had been in the habit
ofassociating and pooling for matual
profit and improvement,
A man who came along that way
about dusk said he saw about thirty
geese standing around in circle
looking reproachfully at each other
and trying to agree on some method
by which they could all go home to-
gether without turning part of their
crowd wrong side out, while behind
8 high board fence there was boy
who seemed to be enjoying himself in
& small way.
The incident was reported to the
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1887-03-26

boys father, who came home and
placed shis son under large dry
goods box in the cellar, after which
he piled three or four hundred
pounds of coal on top of the inverted
box. He then'made a few remarks
for the boys good, which were fol-
lowed by the smothered remark:
" Rats !" from the inside of the box.
After ordering that the boy should
not be disturbed till his return, my
friend put on his coat and went back
to his work.
This was just as the returns began
to return in the autumn of '84. My
friend did not go home for two weeks
and forgot all about the boy till it
came time to do up his punishment
for the fortnight.
When the truth flashed over him
he was filled with keenest remorse,
and went as soon as ne had sent IN
the last proof, but when he went
down in the cellar he found the box
empty and the following note writ
ten on it with pencil:
"Dear Paw do not, weep for me i
have went away from my happy
home WHARF was onct so gay and
free do Not assassinate NAV becuz
she Pride up the box with stick OF
cord-wood yesterday and fed Me she
left the box So could Bust 4th i am
gone Far Far Away do not weap for
me it is better for me and you to be
Apart ennyhow it is better for Me to
be apart i like being Apart a Good

merate you some Day as heaven is

An Indian Fable.

The birds met together one day to
try which could fly the highest
Some flew up very swift, but soon
got tired, and were passed by others
of stronger wing.
But the eagle went up beyond them
all and was ready to claim the victc-
ry, when the grey linnet, a very
small bird, flew from the eagles back,
where it had perched unperceived,
and being uneXhausted, succeeded in
going the highest.
When the birds came down and met
in council to award the prise, it was
given to the eagle, because that bird
had not only gone up nearer to the
sun than any of the larger birds, but
it had carried the linnet on its back
For this reason the eagles feathers be.

Varied Accomplishments of an Arm.
less Man.

Boston Transcript.
There recently died at Potsdam,St
Lawrence county, N. Y, Richard
Donovan, who was in some respects
one of the most remarkable men in
northern New York. Twenty years
ago, when a boy, Donovan worked
in a flour mill. One day he was
caught in belt and received injuries
that neceSsitated taking off both arms
at the shoulders. This misfortune
did not discourage him, and, after
recovering his health, he set about
earning his livelihood as best he
could without the use of hands or
arms. Part of the time he had lived
alone, and from the necessity of help
ing himself he became wonderfully
adept in performing all kinds of
work, using his feet and mouth prin-
cipally. He owned horse, of which
he took the entire care, harnessed it,
fastened and unfasted the buckles
with his teeth, and drove with the
reins tied around his shoulders.
Being in need of a wagon, he
bought wheels and aXles, and built a
box buggy and painted it. He went
to the barn one winter day and built
COW stable, saving the timber with
his feet, and with the hammer in one
foot and holding the nail with the
other he nailed the boards on as well
as most men could do with their
hands. He dug q well twelve feet
deep on farm in this town, and
stoned it himself. He could NOW
away hay by holding the fork under
his chin and letting it rest against his
shoulder. He would pick up pota-
toes in a field as fast as a man could
dig them. He would dress himself,
get his meals, write his letters, and
in fact do almost anything that any
man with two arms could do.

SANDPAPER.

Sandpaper is at present made with
powdered glass instead of sand.
Glass is readily pulverized by heating
itred-hot and throwing it into water,
and finishing the powdering in an
iron mortar. BY the use of selves of
different sizes of mesh the powder can
be separated into various grades, from
the finest dust to very coarse, and
these should be kept separate. A
strong paper is tackled down and COW
cred with strong size of glue, and
the surface covered with powdered
glass Of the desired tineness; when the
glue s.dry the surplus glass is shaken
or brushed off. Muslin is better than
paper, and lasts much longer in use.

The Earths' Changes.

Prof. Hadden of the geological sur
vey says that the biologists, meteor
ologists and other scientific men be-
lieve the world is on an eve of inn
portant changes in climate and other
respects. The earthquakes along the
seaboard from Washington to Charles
ton have shown that some mighty
change was going on in the center Of
the earth. Then again the winter
has been remarkable for the worst
storms in the West and Northwest
known to the scientific world. "The
cause of this" Prof. Hayden says, II
cannot tell; but scientific men here
and abroad concur in the opinion that
we are approaching an extremely in
teresting period. If the earthquakes
continue, it will mark the beginning
of a change in the earth's physical
conditions. 1t is one of the great
geological periods, possibly the be-
ginning of another glacial age. That
the earth was populated with ami
mails and vegetation was abundant
before other ice periods we know, for
we find proofs in the Attic region in
the form of mammoths and other
animals, preserved through tens of
thousands of years in ice. But even
if l am correct in my hypothesis it
would be a thousand years before any
noticeable change was visible in any
way, perhaps longer. The scientific
world is much interested in all these
things, and the coming summer will
witness a thorough investigation.

Big Bone Gave.

Sparta State and Farm.
Perhaps many of the readers of the
State and Farm are not aware that
there exists cave near this place of
huge dimensions and wonderful curl
psities. The cave is known as Big
Bone Cave, and is located in Van Blu
rem county, at the foot of Cumberland
Mountain, about twelve miles from
Sparta. 1t was once a famous salt
peter cave, and in the war with Great
Britain in 1Sll-l2 was extensively
worked. Hundreds of people found
employment here, and quite village
was built up around the mouth of the
cave. The cave is of great extent and
a vast amount of the earth in it was
worked over in making nitre. In
moving the earth the workmen oc-
casionally came across the bones of
the Megalonyx, and other extinct
animals. The name MegalonyX
means great claws, the animals hav-
ing had these for the purpose of dig
ging up roots and Of pulling down
the branches of trees upon
which it appears to have fed. Hence
the name of Big Bone was applied to
the cave. Most of the bones thus
found were, unfortunately for science,
destroyed or thrown away by the
men. Some bones from the cave
were described years ago by DIR. Har-
Ian, of Philadelphia.
At points in the cave there are
heaps or piles flat manure. Of late
years this material has been taken
out and used for fertilizing purposes,
and it was under one of these heaps
that the megalonyx bones now in the

were discovered. The bones were
purchased from Mr.. G. b. Johnson,
of Van Buren, county, for the Uni
versity by DR.. Stafford, whose at
.tention was first called to them
through the kind offices of Mr.. A. j.
Denton, of Chester county, who took
them to Nashville for the purpose.

A Nota BILE Tilt.

A prominent business man of st.
Louis, who had lately returned from
New York tells the following story:
Some time since, a month or so
ago, Col. Ingersoll was thrown acct
dentally into the society of Henry
Ward Beecher. There were four or
five gentlemen present, all of whom
were prominent in the world of
brains. A variety of topics were dis
cussed with decided brilliancy, but
no allusion made to religion. The
distinguished infdel was, of course,
too polite to introduce the subject
himself, but one of the party finally
desiring to see a tilt between Bob and
Beecher, made playful remark
about Col. Ingersoll's idiosyncracy,
as he termed it. The Colonel at
once defended his views in his usual
apt rhetoric; in fact, he waXed elo-
quent. He was replied to by several
gentlemen in very effective repartee.
Contrary to the expectation Of all,
Mr.. Beecher remained an abstracted
listener, and said not a word. The
gentleman who introduced the topic,
with the hope that Mr.. Beecher
would answer Col. Ingersoll, at last
remarked:
"Mr. Beecher, have you nothing
to say on this question:"
The old man slowly lifted himself
from his attitude and replied:
Nothing in fact if you will eX-
cuse me for changing the converse
ton, l will say that while you gen.
tlemen were talking my mind was
bent upon most deplorable sLecta-
Gle which witnessed today"
"What was it 2" at once inquired
Ingersoll, who, Notwithstanding his
peculiar views Of the hereafter is
noted for his kindness of heart"
Why" saidMr. Beecher, as | was
walking down town today / saw a
poor lame man with crutches, slowly
and carefully picking his way
through cesspool of mud, in the. On.
deavor to cross the street. He had
just reached the middle of the filth
when big, burly ruffian, himself all
bespattered, rushed up to him, and
jerking the crutches from under the
unfortunate man, left him sprawling
and helpless in the pool of liquid dirt
which engulfed him."
"What a brute he was!" they all
echoed.
Yes" said the old man, rising
from his chair and brushing back his
long white hair, while his eyes gilt
tered with their old-time fire, as he
bent them on Colonel Ingersoll, eyes
Colonel Ingersoll, you are the man
The human soul is lame, but Chris
tianity gives it crutches to enable il
to pass across the pathway of life
1t is your teachings that knock thes,
clutches from under it, and leaves i
a helpless and rudderless wreck il
the Slough of Despond. If robbinG
the human soul Of its only support OF
this earth-religion-be your profes
sion, why ply it to your hearts con
tent. 1t requires an architect t
erect a building; an incendiary may
reduce it to ashes"
The old man sat down and silence
brOoded over the scene. Colonel In
gersoll found that he had a master il
his own power of illustration anC
said nothing. The company tool
their hats and separated.
